Economics, Politics and International Relations (with Foundation Year) - BA (Hons)

From fully fledged battles to economic sanctions… what’s changed Over the last hundred years, the world of politics and international relations has evolved rapidly. In the past, war was the first response to conflict, but now economic sanctions are front and centre when it comes to political tactics that are being used to respond to conflict and influence political behaviour. Political and economic events are closely linked, so it’s important that we look at them side by side. Our BA Economics, Politics and International Relations with Foundation Year is designed to do exactly that. You’ll look beyond the headlines and explore the forces shaping today’s world. Understanding how to link theory and practice is key. We’ll explore the economic factors shaping the relationships between national governments and examine the issues that are central to the lives of people around the world. The way you learn will be as diverse as the subjects you study, one day discussing competing theoretical frameworks, the next, problem-solving and practising policy recommendations.
